1 SPA & SPAC UPDATE MEETING SECOND QUARTER 2013
2 TODAY S AGENDA SPAC Personnel Changes Carryover Invoicing Terms on Cost-Reimbursable Awards Child Projects Sequestration and Other Federal Budget Updates Proposed Super Circular Legislative Audit Update F&A Rate Proposal Update
3 SPAC PERSONNEL CHANGES Effective May 1, Libre McAdory will be transitioning away from managing the Closeout Project full time. She ll be supervising the collections staff and central accountants. Team B: accountant vacancy is filled Team C: accountant vacancy effective 5/15
4 SF425 SUBMISSION The remarks section of the Standard Form 425 (SF425) give us an opportunity to state our intentions for how we would like the unobligated balance to be handled. We need to streamline our remarks to make our intentions clear.
5 COMMON TERMINOLOGY Let s Review: Unliquidated Obligations: Direct and indirect expenses incurred but not yet paid or charged to the award, including amounts due to subrecipients and contractors. Unobligated Balance = Total funds authorized Expenditures Unliquidated Obligations Relinquishing Statement: An official statement relinquishing interests and rights of a grant, which is required for PI s to change institutions. Using the term relinquished adds confusion. Reminder: Cheryl Williams- Smith is your contact in SPAC that coordinates the postaward closeout of PI s who leave UMB.
6 SF 425 REMARKS There are 5 common scenarios: Automatic carryover within 25% Automatic carryover within 25%, requesting additional carryover with a letter Carryover is not automatic, request will be sent under separate correspondence Unobligated balance will not be spent Unobligated balance is not available for carryover
7 SF425 REMARKS Have the PI check their intention for the unobligated balance on Line H and sign the FFR draft.
8 CARRYOVER PROCESSING AUTOMATIC: When carryover from the sponsor is automatic or within the 25% NIH rule on awards under SNAP, SPAC will process carryover to the next project. Prior to processing, SPAC will verify the carryover has been processed in the Payment Management System.
9 CARRYOVER PROCESSING AUTOMATIC: The carryover will be budgeted under directs and indirects in accordance with the F&A rate on the project. SPAC will the Department and SPA a notification once the carryover has been processed. To reallocate the budget, submit a Budget Modification Request to SPAC.
10 CARRYOVER PROCESSING APPROVAL REQUIRED: SPAC will not initiate carryover to another project until we are notified by SPA or a Notice of Award is sent by NIH. When submitting a carryover request to the sponsor: Letter is prepared by the department and sent to SPA for review & signature As part of the review, SPA will verify the dollar amount ties to the financial report
11 INVOICING TERMS SPA and SPAC are working together to streamline invoicing terms when possible on cost reimbursable, standard awards. Expectations that are clearly defined by the sponsor in the award agreement reduce issues later in the award life cycle.
12 INVOICING TERMS Frequency Invoice Detail Forms & Special Instructions Due Dates General -For awards less than $100,000/year, quarterly invoicing is preferred over monthly. -Extent of invoicing detail should be at the major budget category level. -Any detail lower than this (payroll detail, transaction detail, backup documentation) needs to be supplied by the department. This requirement will be noted in the sent by SPAC at the time the project is set up. -Special forms or instructions should be included in the appendix or be referenced in the award. This includes online systems, PO numbers, mailing instructions (ex. triplicate or ). -Interim invoices due no <30 days after the month/quarter end. -Final invoices due no <60 days after the month/quarter end. -Payments should not be contingent upon the receipt of backup documentation. -All payments should be made in US dollars. -Acceptable payment methods are check, EFT, ACH or RStars. Note: These terms apply to cost reimbursable, standard awards.
13 CHILD PROJECTS Reminder: Child project requests need to be sent to the SPAC team of the department owner of the award. The parent project cannot view activity of the child project in RAVEN until a RAVEN Access Request is completed. The parent is responsible for coordinating final billing and reporting for all child projects.
14 Sequestration and Other Federal Budget Issues Sequestration cuts went into effect 3/1/2013 NIH and NSF have said that the cuts will mostly affect new awards (size and/or number) We have not seen cuts to any awards, yet We are seeing increased scrutiny over carryforwards and pressure on timely submission of FFRs For non-snap awards, if you are expecting a large carryforward, consider requesting mid-period no cost extension Should be done days prior to the end of the budget period May limit your ability to request a no cost extension at the end of the project period
15 Sequestration and Other Federal Budget Issues FY 2013 Budget was finalized 3/27/2013 We should start seeing the 10% holdback for the continuing resolution get awarded NIH salary cap remains at $179,700 i.e. the Executive Level II salary level was not changed (by Executive Order on 4/5/2013) Talks that the FY 2014 budget would reduce the salary cap to the Executive Level III salary level
16 Proposed Revisions to Federal Circulars Proposed OMB Uniform Guidance: Cost Principles, Audit, and Administrative Requirements for Federal Awards OMB Circular A-81 The Super-Circular, The Omni-Circular Puts into one circular A-21, A-110, and A-133 Similar circulars for state and local governments, hospitals, Indian tribes, not-for-profits 240 pages
17 Highlight of Major Proposed Changes A-110 Administrative Requirements Agency limits on F&A require approval of Agency head and OMB Better clarification of the subrecipient vs. vendor definition Requires primes to pass through the negotiated F&A rate Significant new language on subrecipient monitoring
18 Highlight of Major Proposed Changes A-110 Administrative Requirements Relate financial data to performance accomplishments whenever practical Clarifications on voluntary committed cost sharing Not to be used as a factor in the review of applications Standardization of funding announcements and application requirements
19 Highlight of Major Proposed Changes A-21 Costing Language allowing the direct charging of administrative and clerical staff when integral to project Still needs to allocable Current language requires it to be explicitly budgeted Computing devices <$5,000 allowable when essential and allocable Clarification that residual inventory <$5,000 may be retained upon completion of the project Significant rewrite of the compensation section (a.k.a effort reporting) Establishment of a de-minimis F&A rate at 10% Allowability of temporary dependent care as a travel expense if institutional policy extends to all funding sources
20 Highlight of Major Proposed Changes A-21 Costing Elimination of the Cost Accounting Standards (CAS) and Disclosure Statement (DS-2) requirements Unless you have federal contracts in excess of $25M awarded/year Allows for a one-time 4-year extension of F&A rate agreements New methodology for weighting utility costs in the F&A rate proposal Attempts to formalize and provide transparency to the F&A rate negotiation process
21 Timeline For Implementation? Still in the comment phase Comments are due June 2 nd Draft COGR response is currently 80 pages UMB will comment Most likely will be derived from the COGR response OMB s next steps will probably depend on the extent of the comments Another round of draft/comments??? The current language in the draft would give agencies a year to implement the guidance in their policies and procedures
22 Legislative Audit Our latest legislative audit report has been published pdf Covered the period 12/1/2008 9/6/2011 No specific findings on sponsored project administration 7 findings related to: Payroll and time-keeping approvals P-Card Working Fund IT security Medical System contracts Accounts Payable Overrides Last audit had 13 findings, 2 of the 13 are repeated in the 7 findings in this audit
23 Legislative Audit Had significant negotiations with the auditors regarding a possible finding that the monthly review of sponsored projects at the departmental level be appropriately documented Our current billing policy states that it is the department s responsibility to: A.) Perform monthly reviews of all project IDs to ensure the accuracy and validity of the balances in the UMB financial system. B.) Assign a Senior Administrator and/or designee to perform a sample quality review to ensure that monthly reviews are being performed.
24 F&A Proposal Update Space inventory verification of Archibus is due to Luke Mowbray, Capital Budget and Planning today For the largest research departments, space functionalization surveys will occur this summer. Training in June
